摘要

摘要:1842年,狄更斯访问美国时,发现酗酒问题正在被大力解决。他被问及小说中饮酒的普遍性,并被批评为对美国通过提倡禁欲来应对这一问题的努力不够认真。他的回答是质疑这种做法的逻辑性和潜在的有效性。他在国内也对这种做法做出了类似的反应,不断重申在个人信件中存在“不滥用就使用”的观点,有时在他的新闻报道中也会提出在其他问题上保持适度的论点。在1842年的访问中,他在一封之前未收到的信中拒绝了参加在纽约举行的禁酒观察活动的邀请,而是发出了一句引人注目的格言,这句格言后来出现在禁酒宣传文学中。

Boz, New York and a Temperance Aphorism
Abstract:Visiting America in 1842, Dickens found the problem of drunkenness in the process of being vigorously addressed. He was questioned about the prevalence of alcohol consumption in his fiction and criticized for an inferred less than totally serious regard for America’s efforts to confront the problem by promoting abstinence. His response was to question the logic and potential effectiveness of that approach. He reacted similarly to such an approach at home, consistently reiterating the view that there was “such a thing as Use without Abuse” in personal correspondence, and, sometimes coupled to arguments for moderation in other matters, in his journalism. During his 1842 visit, declining in a previously uncollected letter an invitation to attend a temperance-observing event in New York, he instead sent a striking aphorism, which thereafter appeared in temperance-promoting literature.
